(57) First and second tape-pulling members (39a, 39b) comprise slanted posts (40a, 40b)
and guide rollers (41a, 41b) adapted for engagement with the tape (T) contained in
a tape cassette (C). By means of the slanted posts (40a, 40b) and guide rollers (41a,
41b), the first and second tape-pulling members (39a, 39b) pull the tape (T) out of
the tape cassette (C). Each of the guide rollers (41a, 41b) includes a tape-winding
portion (73a, 73b) around which the tape is to be wound. First and second holding
members (71a, 71b) are provided at positions where the tape loading by the first and
second tape-pulling members (39a, 39b) is completed. Tape control portions (72a, 72b),
by which the tape (T) disengaged from the guide rollers (41a, 41b) are controlled,
are formed on the first and second holding members (71a, 71b), respectively, such
that they are located on the tape-outlet sides of the guide rollers (41a, 41b) of
the first and second tape-pulling members (39a, 39b), i.e., on the side closer to
a cylinder (37). Each of the tape control portions (72a, 72b) is substantially at
the same level as the corresponding tape-winding portions (73a, 73b) of the guide
rollers (41a, 41b).
